After three days, the bandage (of the eye) is removed and the eye bathed with the decoction of herbs mitigating Vata. On the seventh day, the bandage should be discontinued once for all.
यन्त्रणामनुरुध्येत दृष्टेरास्थैर्यलाभतः । रूपाणि सूक्ष्मदीप्तानि सहसा नावलोकयेत् ॥२२॥
Seeing should be restricted. This should be practiced till steadiness is attained. Things which are very minute and bright should not be seen suddenly.
Swelling, redness, pain etc. of Adhimantha (another eye disease) arise from improper puncturing and by increase of doshas, those should be treated appropriately.
कल्किताः सघृता दूर्वायवगैरिकशारिवाः । मुखालेपे प्रयोक्तव्या रुजारागोपशान्तये ॥ २४ ॥
Dūrvā – Cynodon dactylon, yava – Hordeum vulgare, gairika – red ochre, śārivāḥ – Hemidesmus indicus, made into paste and added with ghee should be used as mukhalepa (applied over the face and eyes also) to relieve pain and redness.
